The Division of Music is the performing arts hub at Lubbock Christian University. Students of all majors participate in our musical ensembles, and music majors receive a rigorous and well-rounded education that prepares them for careers in music performance, education, therapy, production, business, worship ministry, and research.
As a music major at LCU, you will be welcomed into a supportive and engaging learning environment, and mentored by talented faculty members. Our highly collaborative area balances musical tradition with innovation, all within a strong Christian foundation that drives us to achieve excellence in all that we do. We offer degree plans in five major areas: Music Education, Music Business, Pre-Music Therapy, Worship Ministry, and the Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Music.

LCU offers generous scholarships to music majors based on an audition for the music faculty prior to course registration. Most music major scholarships range from $1000-$2500 and up per year, and will stack with all other scholarships received.
Auditions for students planning to enroll as a Music major in the Fall of 2021 will need to schedule an audition with the Music Faculty as soon as possible. Auditions for incoming students starting fall of 2021 will be held on Chap Days—September 20, October 11, November 15, February 21, March 28, or April 11, but students may plan to audition on another day by appointment. To register for Chap Day, click the link below. To schedule a music scholarship audition at any time, contact Dr. Philip Camp for vocal music scholarships or Dr. Lisa Tatum for instrumental music major scholarships.
Students in choral and instrumental performing ensembles may also be eligible to receive scholarships, regardless of the major. These scholarships may stack with all other scholarships, including scholarships for music majors outlined above. Membership in each of the ensembles is determined by audition each year.
